Would you trust your life to a .380?

Technology has increased the performance of self defense ammo by leaps and bounds over the past years. At one time, I would've ranked the .380 among notoriously anemic rounds like the .25 ACP, but with these recent advents in ammo performance, I would feel OK with a .380 sidearm. That being said, I'd feel better with a .45

He's already "bought & paid for". Observing him "pimping" those guns & ammo on TV is degrading ...He's only correct if you have a choice of the 9mm over the .380, of course..If you want to name-drop someone that probably has studied & written more about caliber & effectiveness on the streets; check out what Evan Marshall has to say about the .380 rd.....Your question: Yes, if it's not feasible to carry a larger caliber...BTW, my primary summer pocket-carry is a PPK...

Defensory - it was a polite request. You've bullied people without actually using any relevant data to defend your case. And no, shooting dessert molds is nothing relevant except for when you get attacked by creatures out of the first DnD monster manual.
If you ask someone who's successfully defended himself with a .380, he would likely say yes.
That's why I said yes.
Clear enough?
It's a pity that this thread has devolved in the way that it has thanks to one person.
I'm out of here.

Once again, the actions of a few posters cause the locking of a thread...
Since folks seem unable or unwilling to take the hint: Most do NOT care about petty arguments between posters who are more like combatants. Is it unreasonable to post one's point of view and reasons why and then move on? Are all of the arguments on "why" the other guy's views are wrong really contributing much if anything (other than discord) to the thread? Is the concern really to get the "truth" out or is it simply to have the last word? Has anyone's opinion on the original topic changed, I wonder?
The topic was "Would you trust your life to a .380?". It was not on how to validate a point of view or related topics.
